Such DVD recorders include a DVD recorder using a twin tray having a recording tray and a reproduction tray in one set, or a DVD recorder including a hard disc driver (HDD).

Conventional DVD recorders including dual HDDs incorporate HDDs and DVD drives, and record externally inputted images on HDDs or DVDs (DVD-R / RW / RAM, etc.), memory cards, or play back recorded images.

The HDD / DVD recorder copies an image stored in the HDD to a DVD disk or copies an image stored in the DVD disk to the HDD as necessary. In addition, not only video but also JPG files and MP3 files can be stored on DVD discs and HDDs mounted on the DVD drive of HDD / DVD recorder. Copy JPG files or MP3 files stored on HDD or memory card to DVD disc or DVD disc You can copy the saved JPG file or MP3 file to HDD or memory card.

In addition, such an HDD / DVD recorder can record on a DVD disk, record / play back on an HDD or a memory card, and reserve recording as desired by the consumer.

However, the functions may differ in speed depending on the performance of the device. If you want to copy JPEG files from the memory card to the HDD, you want to transfer 100 files in total, but it takes 100 minutes to transfer all these files. You can't do anything until you do something else. And you should always monitor it until you're done so you can move on to the next one.

Or even if you transfer some of the data from your PC to the next device to record, it may take 1 to 2 hours depending on the speed of the device.

When such a time-consuming task is suddenly desired when the consumer wants to work, there is a problem that the consumer cannot cancel the work so far or the consumer cannot do the desired work because of the existing work.

The present invention is to solve the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a control method of a composite device that allows a consumer to utilize the device more efficiently when recording between devices or a copy / move of stored content in the same device for a long time To provide.

In the control method of the composite video device of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the control method of a composite video device having a reservation copy and a reservation recording function, a reservation copy operation and a reservation recording operation are set by a user's command. If the scheduled recording job is set to have higher priority than the scheduled copying job, it is determined whether or not the scheduled recording start point is made during the scheduled copying job. The job is paused, the reservation recording job is executed after the reservation copy job is paused, and when the reservation recording is completed, the remaining reservation copy job is resumed according to the stored reservation copy job information.

The reserved copy job information may include information about a reproduction place where a copy target file is located, storage location information where a copy target file is copied, copy file type information, and file copy progress information completed so far.

In addition, the control method of another composite video device of the present invention sets a job priority for each job according to a user's command, and if there is a second job request having a higher job priority than the first job among any first jobs, After the first job is paused, the second job is completed first, and then the first job paused is resumed to perform the remaining work.

The first job is a scheduled copy job, and the second job is a scheduled recording job.

The job priority is characterized in that the reservation recording job is the highest, followed by the regeneration job, the reservation copy job in order.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the HDD / DVD recorder, which is a kind of a composite video device according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes a plurality of input terminals 19 and 21-22 and an output terminal 25 and 26, The A / D converter 17 and the D / A converter 18, the DV decoder 14, the NTSC / PAL decoder 15, and the NTSC / PAL encoder 16 are included. In addition, the HDD / DVD recorder according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a switching circuit 27, an MPEG encoder 12 and an MPEG decoder 13, a controller 40, and an OSD (On Screen Display) synthesizer ( 29, a buffer 11, a DVD drive 10, an HDD 20, a memory card 30, a display unit 23, and a remote control receiver 24.

The input terminal includes a digital interface terminal (Dvin) 19, a video input terminal (Vin) 21, and an audio input terminal (Ain) 22, and the digital interface terminal 19 has a digital video (DV). ) AV data is input. In addition, a video signal of NTSC or PAL format transmitted from a tuner (not shown) or a set top box (not shown) is input to the video input terminal 21, and audio transmitted from a tuner or set top box is input to the audio input terminal 22. The signal is input.

The output terminal includes a video output terminal (Vout) 25 and an audio output terminal (Aout) 26. The video output terminal 26 is a video signal such as NTSC or PAL format to a display device (not shown) connected to the terminal. The audio output terminal 25 delivers an audio signal to the display device.

The DV decoder 14 converts the AV data of the digital video format inputted to the digital interface terminal (DVin) 23 into a video and audio signal of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) -R BT format. The NTSC / PAL decoder 15 converts an NTSC or PAL format video signal input to the video input terminal 21 into an ITU-R BT format. The NTSC / PAL encoder 16 converts the video signal of the ITU-R BT format output from the MPEG decoder 13 into a video signal of NTSC or PAL format.

The switching circuit 27 sends the video signal output from the NTSC / PAL decoder 15 to the MPEG encoder 12 and the OSD synthesizing unit 29, and transmits the audio signal input to the audio input terminal (Ain) 22 to the MPEG. To the encoder 12 and to the audio output terminal (Aout) 25. When recording AV data in a digital video (DV) format, the video signal output from the DV decoder 14 is sent to the MPEG encoder 12 and the OSD synthesizing unit 29, and the audio output from the DV decoder 14 is output. The signal is sent to an MPEG encoder 12 and an audio output terminal (Aout) 25. In addition, during playback, the video signal output from the MPEG decoder 13 is sent to the OSD synthesizing unit 29, and the audio signal output from the MPEG decoder 13 is sent to the audio output terminal (Aout) 25.

The MPEG encoder 12 generates an AV data stream by compressing and encoding an ITU-R BT format video signal and a digitized audio signal in an MPEG-2 manner. The MPEG decoder 13 conversely converts the AV data stream into a video signal of the ITU-R BT format.

The control unit 40 controls not only the copying and recording operation between the DVD drive 10, the HDD 20, and the memory card 30, but also the playback operation and each device constituting the HDD / DVD recorder, and a display connected to the HDD / DVD recorder. An OSD image to be displayed on the device is made and supplied to the OSD synthesizing unit 29. The OSD synthesizing unit 29 then displays the OSD image transferred from the control unit 40 on the screen of the display device. The buffer 11 temporarily stores the AV data stream. The DVD drive 10 mounts a DVD disc to record AV data or reads AV data from the DVD disc, and the HDD 20 stores various data separately from the DVD drive 10. At this time, the DVD disk, the HDD 20, and the memory card 10 may also store a JPG file which mainly compresses a still picture such as a picture, and an MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) file that mainly compresses audio such as a song. . For example, a user attaches a DVD disk to a DVD drive 10 of a PC, downloads a photo (JPG file) or song (MP3 file), etc., and attaches the DVD disk to the DVD drive 10 of the HDD / DVD recorder. By copying the stored picture or song to the HDD 20 or the memory card 30, the JPG file and the MP3 file can be stored on the DVD disc, the HDD 20 and the memory card 30.

The remote controller receiver 24 receives a signal transmitted from the remote controller 28 and transmits the signal to the controller 30. The remote controller 28 includes a menu button for loading or closing a menu on a display device connected to an HDD / DVD recorder. Enter button is used to select, and up, down, left and right direction buttons are used to move between items displayed on the screen.

In the present invention, the consumer can be more effective and convenient at the time of recording between devices or copying / moving the stored contents in the same device. For example, if it is assumed that the time required to move all files when copying and moving the contents stored in the memory card 30 to the HDD 20 is normally used for about 2 hours, the consumer is in progress when such files are in progress. When a file that you want to see suddenly occurs, it stops the current copying job for a while, and after the consumer wants to finish the job, it starts again when the customer wants to do so. You can make the device more efficient for recording and copying.

To this end, the present invention sets, by way of example, a user priority for each job such as (reserved) copying, playing, (reserved) recording, etc., by a user's command. If there is a high second job request, the first job is paused and the second job is completed first, and then the suspended first job is resumed.

Hereinafter, an example of performing reservation recording during reservation copying will be described.

As shown in Fig. 2, if the current time is the start point of reservation copying set by the user, reservation copying is first performed. At this time, if the reserve copy job is a large file, for example, a total of 3 hours is required, and there is a reserve record previously reserved by the user during the reserve copy, the reserve recording is performed in real time by the broadcasting station. Since it is necessary to store incoming data, the priority of the job is higher than that of the current scheduled copy job. Therefore, the scheduled copy job is temporarily saved after storing the reserved copy job information on the reserved copy job in progress on the memory card 30 or the HDD 20. Stop it. Then, after completing the scheduled recording operation, the scheduled copy operation is resumed to complete the remaining copy operations.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, first, in step S100 and S101, the controller 40 determines whether reservation copy and reservation recording are set by a user's command. If it is determined that reservation copying and reservation recording are set, in step S102, priority of reservation copying and reservation recording is set according to a user's command or a preset work priority.

After that, in step S103 and step S104, the reservation copy operation is executed at the time of reservation copy start. At this time, in step S105 and step S106, if the reservation recording operation is started during the reservation copy operation, the reservation copy operation is paused after storing the reservation copy operation information for the reservation copy operation that was being performed. At this time, the reserved copy operation information includes information on the reproduction place where the copy target file is located, storage location information where the copy target file is copied, copy file type information, and file copy progress information completed so far.

After the reservation copy is paused, in step S107, the reservation recording operation is executed, and in step S108, when the executed reservation recording operation is completed, in step S109, the reservation recording operation information stored in step S110 after stopping the reservation recording operation, is stored. On the basis of this, resume the paused reserve copy job and resume the rest of the copy job. After that, in step S111, when the reservation copying job is completed, in step S112, the reservation copying job is stopped, and then the job ends.

On the other hand, if the reservation copy is set as a result of the determination in step S101, but the reservation recording is not set, as shown in Fig. 5, when the reservation copy operation is executed at the start of the reservation copy at step S200 to step S203, the reservation is made, Stop the copy job and end the job.

In the above embodiment, the reservation recording is performed during reservation copying, but is not limited thereto. Other reservation copying operations during copying, playback operations during copying, reservation recording operations during recopying after copying operation during copying, and reservation copying The same applies when a task with a higher task priority is required to be executed while performing a task with a lower task priority, such as a scheduled recording after a medium regeneration operation.

As described in detail above, the present invention sets a job priority for each job by a user's command, and if there is a second job request having a higher job priority than the first job among any first jobs, the first job is executed. By stopping the job after completing the second job that was required for the first time, and then resuming the first job that was paused, any work that takes a long time can proceed to the desired work in the middle of the job, which reduces the boredom of the work that takes a long time. In addition to reducing the number of devices, the device can have various functions, which increases the efficiency of using the device.

In addition, the present invention has the effect that the consumer can utilize the device more efficiently when recording between devices or take a long time to copy / move the stored content in the same device.
